Hello,

While doing a look-up in the KIDDER book, I came across the mention of this
Charles KIDDER, who seems to have moved around a little ! Note that his
first child was born in "Peru" on-board ship !


763 CHARLES HENRY KIDDER (Richard, Benjamin, Richard, Richard, Ephraim,
James), born at Dresden, Lincoln Co., Me., 9 Nov. 1848; died at Boston,
Mass., 18 Jan. 1898. He married first, at New Haven, Conn., 18 May 1878,
NELLIE M. DUNBAR of that city, born about 1857; died at Plainfield, N. J., 7
Jan. 1884, daughter of Rev. M. Dunbar of New Haven; and secondly, at
Waltham, Mass., 2 Oct. 1886, SARAH LUCY GIBSON, born at Provincetown, Mass.,
about 1859, daughter of Aaron and Bertha Gibson.

He was a sea captain, at one time commanding the ship "Jamestown." He made
his home first at Richmond, Sagadahoc Co., Me., and later at East Boston,
Mass.

Children by first wife:

"Jamestown," 10

May 1879.

P.S. Does anyone have further information on his children?
